Forest Stewardship

We support all forest owners in Whatcom County with the stewardship of their land. Healthy forests help increase our climate resiliency, story carbon, contribute to healthy soil, clean air, increased water retention, and more. Whether it’s 1 acre or 1,000 acres, Whatcom CDwants to helps keep it forested and in good health. We can assist with identifying and prioritizing issues on properties based on the landowner's goals and objectives, whether it’s increasing habitat for wildlife, growing timber for wood products, sequestering carbon, maintaining a property for recreation, or conserving a peaceful family refuge.
